Welcome to Markdown Subscript’s documentation!

This Python package is an extension to the Python Markdown project which adds the ability to subscript text. To do so, the character ~ becomes a Markdown tag for text meant to be subscripted, and is replaced with the HTML sub tag.

For example, the extension transforms the text directly below into the HTML shown after it.

Water is H~2~O.
<p>Water is H<sub>2</sub>O.</p>
